Boston, Massachusetts

There seems to always be one in a crowd who does not care what others would think about his act. This was a Sunday noon, near the ocean and the Fort. It had rained in the morning and the puddle of water was just right for this man to take an auto portrait. 

While the ladies ignored this act of neo-narcissism, the older gentleman holding his fishing gear seems to wonder if Narcissus of Thespiai looked just like this (except for the digital camera...) when he fell in love with his own image in a pool of water and pined away becoming the flower Narcissus poeticus.

Hmm...

Had just a quick second to click on my Ukrainian FED-2 sporting a Jupiter-3, 1.5 lens, while thinking if today's cell phone self-portraits were accepted and encouraged forms of narcissism.
